The George Eastman Museum’s collections include millions of objects. Each of these objects reflects the knowledge and the historical, cultural, social, and political perspectives, and biases of its creators. Today, some of the objects will be objectionable, offensive, or disturbing.

Although we cannot alter our collection objects, we are responsible for their descriptions, interpretation, and contextualization. As part of the Eastman Museum's broader initiative to address and make progress on issues of inclusion, diversity, and equity, we are committed to working internally and with experts and the community to address how we present collection objects—in our collection database and in public exhibitions—in a way that is mindful and respectful of the subjects, the makers, and our audiences.
